Dear Santisi Family,

I was greatly saddened to hear of the passing of your Dad. I am the cantor at St. Thomas Aquinas in JP, and I looked forward to seeing your Dad's giant smile every Sunday at the 8AM Mass. Our birthdays were one day apart, and our yearly birthday card exchanges was a highlight of every birthday celebration. It's hard to believe that this wonderful spirit is now gone from our earth forever. He will be greatly missed!

To all the Santisi family,
I would like to send condolences from an old family friend, Dolly Spagnoletti (Finnegan) I met all of the family over the years, and heard all about their times growing up.
Although my mother is now in A nursing home in Andover, she talks about all the friends that she had from JP. It is one of her best memories, and how She and Serena ended up in Brighton, and at VFW post 2022. Her sister Elena is still in JP, and still at Julia's Beauty Shop on Centre street. I will pray for you to remember all the stories and the people that loved your family. They all had such a wonderful life!!!
Pleae know that we are thinking of you and praying for you

Dear Frank and Family,
I am saddened to hear the loss of your dad..I had a P O connection to the man and his ways.. my dad was a postman as well and these guys were characters. Frank ..seeing him at Castle Island on those hot days that we had lunch there.. that golden color of skin he had.. that smile and he swore that the water there was his secret to youth!, " Dont let anyone know I m retired " he d quip.. always a pleasure to talk with on my journeys over there. Southie was like a second hang out for him. Got to know him and love him over the years. Will miss his smiling face and joke or two that we shared. The bestto you all at this time.

Mr. Santisi,
Sir, I didn't know you, but I would just like to say thank you for your service and sacrifice for our Country when you served with the U.S. Navy in WW II aboard the aircraft carrier USS Enterprise(CV-6)-the "Big E." And to your family and loved ones, I wish to extend my deepest sympathy. The Enterprise was the most decorated ship in WW II and fought from start to finish-from just missing the raid on Pearl Harbor in 1941 to bombing Japanese island outposts and participating in the Doolittle Raid on Tokyo in early 1942 to the Battles of Midway and Guadalcanal and being the only American carrier left in the Pacific to fight the Japanese to being in Task Force 58 and participating in every major battle from 1943 to the end of the War-the Enterprise was always in the thick of the action-I'm sorry for going on, but whenever I read about what our men went through in WW II, I am always in awe.
